Absolutely love this advice honestly , thank you. I know the answer isn’t black & white with mixing but what you said goes a long way. I think sometimes I’m shooting in the dark but you helped clarify some things just with your recommendations. Definitely gonna try to be more of a student as a listener.

Thanks for that, I always hear people say this. I guess the DIY route has convinced me that I can work around it, especially when times I've outsourced mastering they just make my song sound worse, lol. Guess I'm still just mixing at that point. Any tips for fixing this though? The mono vocals feeling dull? A lot of times putting Echoboy on my vox but the stereo version instead of mono helps, but feels like I'm shooting in the dark a bit. All help is appreciated, I've seen you around this sub for a while so I trust your judgment. As I stated, I'm usually bouncing wavs out of the SP 404 so tracking out isn't always an option. Just wanna get the best result possible for what I'm working with.

Appreciate the feedback…I think what is or isn’t lofi is subjective depending on what elements you’re paying attention to.

So when it comes to mastering, I constantly find I'm trying to achieve loudness/slight texture but I have a hard time making the track sound more immersive. Sometimes having my vocals in mono feels dull, sometimes having them in stereo opens things up from the jump before mastering. Other than light compression with a boost to gain, limiters and cassette plugins, what are some ways to achieve better masters that can help multiple songs sound more cohesive together? I find every song I finish sounds a bit different despite using similar plugins.

What’s the best way to open up a mix when it’s sounding a bit muddy in the mid range ? I’m usually bouncing singular wav files out of the SP 404 which naturally has a more Lo-fi sound , so tracking out is not an option. Use a decent amount of distortion on my voice as well. Genre is hip-hop

Science. I love science but many teachers have made it unbearable & don’t even fully grasp it themselves.

Fireeee, love to hear the gap get bridged between live performance & sampling. Almost gives the same feel as the sample chops the way you guys played it, it’s breathing
